For more than ten years, researchers have used micro CT scanners to capture detailed images of insect specimens.  These X-ray scans allow the study of shape and structure of insects. However, producing these images traditionally requires significant time and expense.  To accelerate the process, the research team tested a new high-technology workflow designed to dramatically increase scanning speed.  It combined a synchrotron particle accelerator, X-ray scanning, robotics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to produce interactive digital images representing 800 ant species.
